Introducing exa-code, a big step towards eliminating LLM code hallucination. We indexed 1B+ docs pages, Github repos, StackOverflow posts, and more. Given a query, exa-code initiates a hybrid search over this data, chunks it, and returns a concatenated, token-efficient string. In our code hallucination eval, exa-code outperforms every popular web search tool (including Exa!).
